Chemical Senses is an active peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of chemoreception, including taste, smell, vomeronasal, and trigeminal chemoreception in humans and other animals. It was established in 1974 and is published monthly by Oxford University Press.

The journal focuses on the chemical senses, including olfaction, gustation, and chemesthesis. The goal of the journal is to provide a forum for researchers to publish high-quality research on these topics and to promote the exchange of information and ideas in the field.

The journal covers a wide range of topics related to the chemical senses, including the molecular biology of chemosensory receptors, the neural basis of chemosensation, the psychophysics of olfaction and gustation, and the effects of chemosensory stimuli on behaviour and health. The journal also covers the role of chemosensation in food and beverage science, as well as in the study of fragrance, pheromones, and the environment.

Chemical Senses publishes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on a variety of topics related to the chemical senses. The journal also features a variety of other content types, including editorials, letters, and commentaries. Editorials provide commentary on current issues or controversies in the field, while letters and commentaries offer a platform for readers to respond to articles published in the journal or to express their opinions on important issues in chemosensory research.

The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1988 and 1998.
